Chapter 659
You Hit My Heart
The car Ricky was driving that was significantly better than their shabby
Ford. They were slow and without a front windshield.
Joyce, gun in hand, peeked out the car window, âHis gun has a short
range and can't get to us for now. Can you drive a little faster?"
"Pedal to the bottom already." Karl kept breaking out in a cold sweat,
his voice shaking. It was only a matter of time before Ricky caught up
with them.
Joyce gave him a worried look.
Seemingly, his condition was more serious than just now.
âYou hold on for a while, and when he catches up with us, I'll shoot his
tires. However, your pistol doesn't have a long range either, and we
need to get closer.â Joyce now focused entirely on the car behind them
and Ricky was about to catch up with them at any moment.
âI'm going to take the off-ramp. The road ahead is curvy and has many
turns. Ricky's vision will be affected to some extent and the speed of
the car will be less of a problem. Sit tight. I'm going to make a sharp
turn now."
Karl said and hit the steering wheel hard. The car suddenly turned onto
the side road for a wild ride.
Joyce firmly grasped the seat belt to stabilize her posture.
At the moment Karl made the turn, a few bullets came flying from the
rear, but fortunately they all fell short. Some of them grazed the body of
the car, but still, they caused no real damage!
"Beautiful, what a timely turn!" Joyce praised, and Karl was indeed
quite good at driving. He was able to control the car so well even when
he was injured.
"Ricky even has a large caliber pistol, and the wind is in his favor. We
don't have an advantage here, and he will be able to hit us first."
Joyce frowned gently.
The bottom line was that they had limited ammunition, and Karl left in
such an urgence and didn't carry enough supplies, while Ricky had
come well prepared. Every shot she fired had to be able to reach her
target.
She glanced at the place where she had bandaged Karl earlier. Blood
was seeping out again, quickly staining the lavender satin. It seemed
that the bandage could not stop the bleeding. What's worse, for all the
while Karl had endured the pain, he had increased the bleeding
because he had been driving hard.
This was not going to work. He would lose too much blood and his life
would be in danger. He must rest flat on his back to stop the bleeding.
Although only Ricky was chasing behind them at the moment, maybe
Ricky would call a group of killers to surround them together.
Would Karl be able to hold on by then?
They were in tremendous danger right now.
Ricky wanted to killed her, and she had got so many innocent people
involved. Victor nearly died. Karl was shot in the abdomen, and blood
was still draining out of him. His lips were turning white by the minute.
All of this was her responsibility.
She kept blaming herself. She felt so guilty that she bit her lower lip and
it turned pale. Crystal tears seeped from the corners of her eyes.
She quietly raised her hand to wipe it away and took a deep breath,
trying to control her emotions.
Karl was attentive enough to notice the changes on her face, and he
knew what she was thinking.
He spoke thoughtfully, "What are you thinking? You think you're the one
who brought me into this? That Ricky was targeting you? Now that the
analysis institute has been blown up and Victor has been seriously
injured, you feel guilty?"
Joyce was stunned, and her shoulders trembled slightly. He really knew
her well. Although she tried to hide it, he still saw through it.
âDon't you forget, I'm a detective, and Ricky is a vicious criminal. It's my
duty to catch him. It would only be dereliction of duty to turn a blind eye
to it."
